Tech: BREAKING: Microsoft close to buying out Skype. Holy cats!
- $7 billion for Microsoft to prove that they’re still in the game source
- » The deal is close: Reports suggest a deal could be reached by Tuesday, which of course would be big. See, Skype has a huge userbase — around 663 million users — and they make billions of minutes worth of VOIP calls each year. Clearly Microsoft would be a better choice to own this company than eBay, but then again, anyone would’ve been a better choice than eBay.
